Strawberry Ice cream cake!!!
have fun!!!
Bake a cake from the box. I usually bake two, that way I can put the ice cream in the middle to hold them together.
Buy Vanilla Ice cream, I always get strawberries and mash them into the Vanilla Ice cream that way, it turns into strawberry I.C.
Put the new Strawberry ice cream in between the two cakes, and then cover the whole cake in ice cream, topping it w/ more strawberries, stick in the freezer for 20-30 min, and then eat it!!! Have your cake and it eat.
Strawberry Brownie Delight
1 (19.8 ounce) package brownie mix
1 cup strawberry preserves
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
10 fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions, and pour batter into two 8 inch round cake pans. Bake as directed. Cool completely.
Run a knife around the outer edge of the cake pans, and tap out one of the rounds onto a serving plate. Spread half of the strawberry preserves over the top. Place the second brownie round on top, and spread the remaining strawberry jam on it. Frost the top and sides of the cake with whipped topping. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top. Drizzle with chocolate syrup, and serve.
Chocolate strawberries are good too

if you are having trouble thinking of how to use these excess berries, puree some of them and freeze. that way you can use them some other time in another recipe. what you could do with some of them is make a spinach salad, add chunks of brie cheese, almond slices, tomato slices, strawberry halves, and a balsamic vinaigrette (or a berry-balsamic….mmmm….). this salad is great. or, take some pureed berries, and vanilla ice cream, and make strawberry swirl ice cream. popsicles….shortcake…the possibilities are endless. good luck!
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Strawberry shortcake, Strawberry Daiquiris, Strawberry Hot Fudge sundaes, Fruit Salad, et al.
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (or just strawberry pie)
Start with a pie dough 2 9" rounds.
Enough cleaned, hulled sliced in hald strawberries to fill a 9′ pie plate, 1 cup of sugar, 4 tablespoons of flour, a pat of butter.
preheat oven to 450 degrees F, In a large bowl, add strawberries, 2 tbl of flour and one cup of sugar, mix until strawberries are thoroughly coated. Place 2 tbl of flour at bottom of dough as you bottom crust, add the strawberry mixture, dot with small pieces of butter. Make the top dough into lattice work (the lattice work is crucial because it allows the moisture to evaporate) and bake at 450 for 15 minutes, turn oven down to 350 and bake an additional 45 minutes.
Serve warm with Hagendaz vanilla ice cream and a fresh brewed cup of coffee. Enjoy!
Strawberry cheesecake is good, or you can make muffins just put in chunks of strawberry instead of blueberry. Add sliced strawberries to salad at dinner. Also they freeze well for later recipe use, so if you have way too many you may want to do that too.
